A masterful account of the conspiracy of assassins that hunted down the perpetrators of a genocide.

In 1921 a small group of self-appointed patriots set out to avenge the deaths of almost one million victims of the Armenian Genocide. They named their operation Nemesis after the Greek goddess of retribution. Over several years the men tracked down and assassinated former Turkish leaders. The story of this secret operation has never been fully told until now.

Eric Bogosian goes beyond simply telling the story of this cadre of Armenian assassins to set the killings in context by providing a summation of Ottoman and Armenian history as well as the history of the genocide itself. Casting fresh light on one of the great crimes of the 20th century and one of history's most remarkable acts of political retribution, and drawing upon years of new research across multiple continents, Nemesis is both a riveting listen and a profound examination of evil, revenge, and the costs of violence.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I heard the author speak about this book back in 2015, and have purchased numerous copies for gifts, especially that year, the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Finally started listening to it and so glad I did. much more than what I expected...and so easy to listen to.

Eric did a great job on research and putting in a book. I hope it becomes mini series , there is too much good information for a movie.

Well written and narrated. The book clearly showed the evil of the world when geopolitical interests are at play and human lives are irrelevant.
